It's Official

In case you missed it, the United States of America has officially become a police state.

I blogged about how something like this can happen here and here just after the election.

Will November be too late?

The only consolation I've come across lately has been this wonderful novel, just out, by Carolyn See. She describes the anxiety, anger -- even rage I feel toward this administration and how paranoid life in America is becoming. And yet, the novel did lead me back to another truth: there is still beauty in the world. If you like to read, you must read this book. If you are a writer, note her skill, her elegant clarity, her humor in spite of everything.

See? I started out feeling funky and ended up feeling quite okay. It's a good book, eh?
